Apples and Oranges comparison.
Many people move to PC audio for the extreme convenience of having thousands of tracks or even thousands of albums available at their fingertips w/o having to manually go thru a stack of CDs or vinyl records.
If all you want to do is hear a single CD album or record, by all means just pull the media of choice from your pile, play it (flip it over if it's vinyl), and put it back when you're done.
My computer audio setup was as good as my CD player and that was before adding any 'tweaks'. It actually sounds even better these days especially with 'hi-res' files - that a CD player cannot play.
